Billet wheel hubs/adapters M101a3

Just got my first trailer, an M101a3. I was wondering if billet wheel hubs/adapters could be used in order to match my trailers tires/wheels (37" HUMVEE) to my tow vehicle (08 F-250)? I believe the HUMVEE wheels are 8x6.5 with 7" of backspacing and my Ford is 8x170. Any help would be appreciated.

anything other than the Humvee wheels will stick out too far, and even farther with adapters.

Get the spacer/adapters for the truck instead and run the Humvee wheels & tires on the truck.

You could pull a hub, check for some ID and contact a trailer manufacturer to see if they could get a hub to fit your requirements.

Yeah, what he said, I had a guy trying to do same thing with a trailer I sold him, ended up just using Hummer wheels in the end

The M101A2 trailer would work better with the billet wheels.
Sell the A3 and get an A2.
You can make some extra money, as the A3 has a little more value.
If you use the Humvee wheels/tires....they are about 130 lbs. each with the runflat in them, and expensive when it comes time to replace tires.
With the A2 trailer, and the matching wheels, you will have the two tires on trailer as spares for the truck if your out in the middle of nowhere.
